As part of the organization’s on-going commitment to education, the Cleveland
Cavaliers continue to recognize high scholastic achievement through the Straight
“A” All-Stars program, presented by Westfield. Charles A. Mooney School in
Cleveland and Millridge Elementary School in Highland Heights were named the
Straight “A” All-Stars winning school for the first and second grading periods,
respectively.
Now in its 14th season, the Straight “A” All-Stars program rewards students
(grades K-8) in Cuyahoga, Lorain, Summit, Medina, Portage, Geauga, Lake, and
Ashtabula counties. This season, the Cavs and Westfield recognized over 5,300
academic all-stars! All participating students who receive straight A’s at the
end of the first and second grading periods receive a personalized certificate
and special prize. In addition, 600 students (300 each grading period) were
randomly selected to receive two tickets to a Cavs home game and an official
Straight “A” All-Stars t-shirt.
In addition to the individual student recognitions, one school each grading
period was also recognized for their participation in the program.
Cavs in-arena host Ahmaad, mascots Moondog and Sir C.C., and members of the
Scream Team and Cavalier Girls made a special visit to Charles A. Mooney and
Millridge Elementary for an assembly for their student body, where a
representative from Westfield presented the principal, faculty, staff and
students with a check for $1,000!
